Wow… This morning when we stoped by my house to drop some food I bought for my week, I said to David that I had a feeling that I would receive the work authorization today. We parked the car and there I went to check my mail box. It was empty…. When re-entering in the car to leave, the postman was there!!! I asked “Is there something for me there?” He said – just a letter. Guess what? …I should start playing the lottery…

Now I have work authorization until March 2009, and I guess it’s NOT only in my field of study in USA, so I could get any job (in case I wanted to change). Well, I think that when my Greencard arrives it will probably hold more power than this document I received today. Idk…

So, now we just have to go to the infamous couple interview – March31 – at the Immigration Office in Indianapolis. Carrying along a thick folder (actually now 3…) we’ll show them all our pictures and documents (that we accumulated during these 1.5 year) that will officially prove that our relationship is real.

If all goes right, next step is just to wait for them to change my International Student Status to the so-called Temporary Permanent Resident Status.

Wish us good luck!

Chegou hoje mesmo minha nova autorizacao de trabalho! Eu acordei pensando mesmo que ia chegar hoje. Com um palpite tao afiado, eu acho que eu devia comecar a jogar na loteria!

Agora so nos resta ir a famosa entrevista (segunda, dai 31 de marco) e mostrar pra eles todos s nossos documentos , fotos etc que provam que nosso relaconamento eh verdadeiro.

Dand tudo certo, em breve vou ter meu novo visto, que pasara de estudante pra Visto Pemanente Temporario de Residente. Mas ca entre nos: quem vai entender o que isso realmente quer dizer?….

Desejem-nos boa sorte!
